We lost a good lady today.......

Mom peacefully passed away this morning in her sleep. I feel blessed and grateful but most of all relieved she passed in her sleep and is out of pain.

Mom made it to 101 and lived a VERY full life and to her credit she left behind quite a legacy.

She was born in Portland, Oregon and grew up in Seattle, before leaving to join the Navy at 19.

Thanks to all here over the years who had nice things to say about her.....it's always meant a lot to both of us.

So sorry for your loss Brother Baz. I can recall you talking about her fondly over the years here, and I can tell she was a good person, and mother, and also, that you were a good son to her .
Godspeed .

I'm so sorry for your loss, Baz. Man, she had a full life for sure. Just think of all that she saw in her 101 years of life. What a life she had, and that should be celebrated for sure.
She will be missed by all of us who have enjoyed seeing just a sliver of what a fine person she was, and we will miss her smile.
May she forever be smiling and rest in peace.

I's so, so sorry for your loss, Bazza. You and your mom had a wonderful connection and you were generous to share the stories with us over all these years.

Every mom should be lucky enough to have a son who was as attentive to her needs as you were.

Every child should be lucky enough to be showered in the unconditional love your mom gave you.

There will be an emptiness for a long time. A void. But in part she will still around with your pups, her husband, and everything in life she enjoyed so much including yourself. A century of physical existence on earth is better than most in all of history and it's clear she lived a very good one.
My condolences for this difficult time.

Sorry to hear it Baz. You spoke of her often here. There was obviously a lot of love between you two. I know you feel a great loss, but be comforted in the fact that you were such a devoted and supportive son. God Bless you.
